Can't edit .cshrc

[danzg]

I'm trying to edit my /.cshrc and ~/.cshrc files.

I'm logged in as root; the files show owner root and 644 permissions.
But when I try to edit, I get "read only filesystem."

Code:

Hi danzg,

Try mounting "/" with "mount -uw /", then make it read-only again with "mount -ur /" when you are done editing.

Thanks! That worked.
